SMAC Report
Scott Crocker might finally stop complaining about Juno Lake.
Scott Crocker - 1st Place
Crocker, who previously said he detests fishing Juno, went out Saturday in cold, windy conditions and put a butt-whipping on a handful of other teams fishing the Southwest Michigan Anglers Club season finale on the popular chain of lakes.
Crocker, who fished alone, had only of only two limits – and said he caught 15 keepers – taking home the first-place money and big bass pot. He had 12.19 pounds and a 3.30-pound largemouth. Crocker said he caught them on swim jigs, jerkbaits and bladed jigs in 4 to 10 feet of water.
Kory Bloss and Kim Vaughn - 2nd Place
Kory Bloss and Kim Vaughn were second with five weighing 7.33 pounds. They fished Ned rigs and wacky worms around docks in shallow water.
Pat Pilmore and Brent Burgess - 3rd Place
Pat Pilmore and Brent Burgess were third with four weighing 7.20 pounds. They fished jigs in 5 to 15 feet of water.
The next event is the Classic slated for Lake Leelanau Sept. 21-=22.
